Technical Abstract

The invention is directed to modeling of heat and vibration for structures. Therefore, with a traditional model division for each component, one-to-one correspondence between the models and the components is not necessarily realized. There has been a problem in that it is difficult to divide the models. To solve the above problem, a simulation program according to the present invention includes a first model for calculating a first vehicle characteristics parameter, a second model for calculating a second vehicle characteristics parameter to transfer energy without converting the energy, and an interface model for performing conversion calculation of the first vehicle characteristics parameter and the second vehicle characteristics parameter.
